Hah! Great question, that was directed at Ross Ulbricht's long form article a few minutes ago. Not sure where my reply went to tho'!
In the bitcoin world, people seem to be wound pretty tightly right now. The ...
... OP_RETURN debate seems to be spilling over...normally temperate folks are getting testy and rather nasty at times.

Great to see you embracing Nostr.
The Nostr discourse here is getting rather rude and personal. Not behooving at all.
We hear a lot about #AI taking jobs, I don't know about that, but one thing I know...AI is taking away the job of snarky coders on places like Stack Overflow who enjoy ripping on noobs like me who ask questions.
It's no longer necessary to ask a question there, receive my whippings and insults, and just sit and wait for a possible answer. The polite AI agent just answers.
I'm just beginning to catch up on the kerfuffle, but are you thinking it'll pan out like this:
- no merge, but...
- fork then fight
?
My 9th grade teacher said computers are just "high speed morons"... they can't do anything particularly special that we can't do, they can just do it really really really fast.
All this AI stuff of late recently reminded me of that teachers quote. She was ahead of her time.

Maybe dumb question, but is "nutzap" sending sats embedded in an emoji which needs to be decoded using something like https://emoji.paulbutler.org/?mode=encode or https://snofl.com/stego/stego.html Or, is it something else altogether?

Still looking for one of the major nations to go all in (beyond just naming a "bitcoin strategic reserve"), but this is bullish nonetheless. It helps build that #bitcoin FOMO pressure. https://x.com/pete_rizzo_/status/1917481673119175054
Thus far I've been s frugal follower and it seems to be good so far. Sell me on follow packs, 'cause right now, and I know it's the new cool toy, but right now I'm not feeling batch/bulk follows.

I used untype.app today for the first time. Loved the clean simplicity and posted the long form kind 30023 easily. The table didn't render as expected in some clients, but did in others, but could have been my fault as I was in a hurry. Post below:
Been a while since checking polymarket but betting on the new pope? Not sure how I feel about that. Seems wide open. Conclave set for May 7.
Anyone know where to find that list of news bots? #asknostr
After work, pickleball! Then a Slurpee to cool off. Healthy/not-healthy living.

Saturday was the ballet, yesterday was church, today is work and pickleball. I don't know what all this means. ๐
Yawn, it's the same thing (I think there's a meme for this). This is just semantics. You are born with all rights, 100%. You/I/we agree to give up certain freedoms (such as freedom to steal) to the government to institute laws (social contract 101). By giving up these freedoms, we relinquish our "right" to do them. Rights are relinquished by giving away freedoms. If we retain these freedoms, we retain our right to do whatever it is. Semantics.
Probably some neurotic paranoia going on here, but tell me there's no hidden message somewhere in this image. I ain't crazy, I promise. ๐

There are just a couple of programs, and I could probably do without them. So far it's been OK dual booting to be honest. It goes straight to Linux and I have a csoare tire" if needed.
I've got an old laptop with a Windows 10/Linux Mint dual boot. I've moved over to linux almost exclusively, but lately it's gotten so slow it's almost unusable.
Weekend goal: shrink Windows partition, wipe the others and reinstall linux. If that doesn't work, nuke the entire thing and start over. Done it before, but always takes 10x the time. Wish me luck.
